Grace Jones is a Contemporary R&B and Disco act. Their catalogue also touches House, Pop and Rhythm and blues.

They run in the same orbit as Róisín Murphy, Madonna, Eurythmics, Sinéad O'Connor and Rufus, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tom Aspaul, Patty Pravo, That! Feels Good!, Cedella Marley and Stupid Hoe, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
